Favorite? Like in my favorite person? It has to be James Hunt. I'll never forget the time he bought a pack of Jhon Player's while using a Marlboro jacket, in front of everybody. I love the kind of guy that is able to "discover" people like Gilles Villeneuve.

My favorite racer has to be Jhon Watson. I've never ever seen somebody climb so many positions in my life and I am afraid I'll never see it again.

My favorite race, by my favorite racer must be the Long Beach 1982 GP, where Watson, starting 22nd, managed to win.

My favorite team is Minardi. Or Cooper. Right now, it has to be Super Aguri. I only like people that fights against all odds.

It was Jacques Villeneuve, Gilles brother - Jacques uncle :wink:

Favorite drives? Stefan Bellof in a Tyrrell 012/Ford at the Detroit GP 1985. The Cossie was no match for the Ferrari and Renault and Lotus turbos, but Bellof brought the nimble Tyrrell in fourth with a slipping clutch, narrowly missing the podium. Probably the hardest fought fourth of all time. I believe it was the Cosworth's last or next to last race as the 014 with a turbo motor debuted at Paul Ricard.

Like @manchild, I'm a team fan.
Renault is my saint, as for drivers...whoever drives for them...but I've been following Kovalainen's growth as a driver, I was close to him at the RoC down in the "paddock" on Stade de France...I think I have a new favourite driver in him.

apart from all this...I had an interview with Alonso 2 years ago...I respect him a lot...he's a worthy champ for me. I also worship Senna. Next...JV, DC, JPM, Mika...I also admire the raw speed of Kimi, the brilliance of Loeb, Ivan Muller even....as for Schumi I have a great respect as a gifted driver, but he lacks charisma in my eyes.

at last...based on the stories I've read...I get the feeling Nuvolari wasn't a human being :wink:...count Caracciola here too

i dont have a favourite driver, although I'd like kimi to win at least a world championship as I feel McLaren let him down. I used to also support Jordan and Minardi as I feel they added something to the sport altough I am getting a bit warmer towards Toro Rosso because of Liuzzi who I think is a great driver with an equally great personality. From the top teams, I tend to side with McLaren of whom I like their pristine image and their quest for being the best at everything (apart from the car, that is :wink: )

Well, I'm a crazy McLaren fanatic that want them to let me experience new golden years...

My favorite driver?, Juan Manuel Fangio, the greatest of F1's old times, how did he manage to drive with tires as wide as my bicycle's and half of his body outside the car?
I love Senna too, just watching him drive in some old movies makes me want to jump into a cockpit and try to make the P1…

Now?, well, I liked Kimi but he broke my metal heart when he betrayed us and left to Ferrari, now that I hate him I have to like Fernando, whom, by the way, is a very clever guy (despite he likes to talk a little too much for me and Sir Dennis's taste).

Ok

my teams: Renault, Williams, Lotus

My Pilots, Prost, Mansell, Cever, Alonso,

I hate cars colored in Red, and more i hate Ferrari and italians car especially, they do flashy most times but are unreliable and not as efficient as others GT ones!

and i don't hate MS, its a good pilot, but i don't like him, as ferrari behaviours are such shame for F1 for years!

i'm waiting ferrari to go back at middle grid as times when Prost was saying to Cesare Forio "it would be better to drive trucks" lol!

and if the so called mindset of capitalists is to get inovations with pragmatic and cost effective teams on results!

Renault with his budget and succes should get the top glory there each yaers!
